Show doorcamera on TV when doorbell is pressed

Post by Justintime »

You will need:

Chromecast
Tinycam Pro app
Tasker app
Pushover notification
And a camera and doorbell off course.

In Tasker create a new profile---event---plugin---pushover.

configuration :
Title matches: Domoticz
Message matches: "switch name" >> ON

Create new task:

Give it a name
+ - - plugin--- Tinycam Pro
Configuration:
Start Google cast and select the camera.


Don't forget to activate pushover on notification in the doorbell switch.

When watching tv my receiver switches automatically to chromecast when something is going to cast.
So that can be different in your situation.

Simple... But very convenient.

Just wondering.. Does it switch back automatically or do you need to do that manually?
